King County Sheriff John Urquhart is not entirely sold on the idea of safe injection sites. But despite his misgivings, Urquhart believes the federal government is more apt to go after Washington’s legalized marijuana than it is the incoming heroin sites

Urquhart told KIRO Radio’s Ron and Don that he understands that the feds could target the state for plans to open two safe injection sites in King County that would allow drug addicts to use illegal substances under medical supervision. But Urquhart doesn’t see that as being likely. Borrowing a line from former Washington Attorney General Rob McKenna, Urquhart said that the Trump administration appears to be picking a lot of fights.
